The office of public prosecutor Raja Thakare was found ransacked on Thursday morning. Thakare is handling several sensitive cases, including the 2006 serial train blasts in Mumbai and the 2006 Malegaon blasts.

Thakare’s peon Rajesh Ghadi found files and papers scattered when he opened the office, located at Police Court on MRA Marg, on Thursday morning. Ghadi had locked the office on Wednesday night. The police has registered a complaint but are yet to determine if there was a robbery.

“Some one entered the office by breaking the latch,” said an officer at the MRA Marg police station. “We suspect the robbers had broken in to take away some important papers as the room has only documents and files of the cases that Thakare has been handling.”
